The reverse check: whether this freight broker is legit, bonded, and safe to haul for — before you take the load.
Serious payment-risk signals are firing on this broker. Don't haul for them without resolving these first — on this data you may not get paid.
Based on public FMCSA registration, surety-bond, and revocation records. We don't have broker payment-history data — this checks that the broker is authorized and bonded, not that they always pay on time.
Claims 488 power units but only 112 roadside inspections turned up in 24 months — far fewer than a fleet that size should produce, a possible shell-carrier signal.
A truck VIN on this carrier appeared under 2 different DOTs with only a brief, single-inspection window overlap — usually a legitimate equipment transfer, lease, or roadside data-entry artifact rather than a cloned truck. Verify before drawing a conclusion.
